A Broken Promise

"Promise me you'll never tell."
Is what keeps ringing in my ears.
"Ok, ok I promise."
This leaves me nothing but fears.

The hitting, the kicking.
I don't know what to do.
Those threatening words whispering in my ear,
"You better not tell or I'll kill you"

The bruises, the scars.
She's in so much pain.
She needs to let go of her fears,
It's her strength she needs to regain.

Should I keep my promise?
Or turn her father in?
Her father doesn't love her.
I need to stop this evil sin.

I'm sorry for lying,
But it's for your own good.
You know you want me to.
You know I should.

I know I said I promise,
But I can't let you live like this.
Those bad times with your father,
I can assure you, you won't miss.

This promise was meant to be broken.
Now you can finally be free.
I know not now,
But sometime you'll soon thank me.
